Sunday, December 17, 2006 For the Mentor CBC this morning I spent a couple hours watching the lake from Mentor Lagoons. Highlights: Northern Pintail, 2 Surf Scoter, 15 Black Scoter, 2 Greater Scaup, 1 Red-breasted Merganser, 713 It was a beautiful day with a light breeze out of the south...so not too many birds. The Headlands gang reported 5 Purple Sandpipers out by the lighthouse. At Eastlake Power Plant on the way home, I didn't spend a long time sorting through the gulls, but did see a 2W Thayer's Gull when the birds all took flight.
